Lush by Lauren Dane

I received a review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. At first I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy the book as it seemed a bit superficial – two characters (one a rock star drummer, the other an up and coming chef) meet, resist their attraction to each other, give in, etc. But as I read on I got so involved in the lives of the character, which are well-written with a lot of depth. I loved the relationships that existed; friendships, families, close ties among the many characters; one of my favorite scenes was near the end of the book when the main characters mothers nearly come to blows defending their children. The main characters are part of a group that exists from previous books in the series and I now want to go back and read all of their stories. I highly recommend this book.
